You don't have to agree with the Pastor to be part of Paradox. Instead, we hope these teachings spark conversations about how we can all become more loving people.
In this message from Paradox Church, Craig walks through 1 Samuel 17 with the Dead Sea Scrolls open on the table: Goliath's actual height, the ancient practice of champion warfare, and the contradiction in 2 Samuel 21 that forced Israel to rewrite its own history 300 years later.
In this message, Craig Hadley discusses each passage where God speaks directly to Samuel. Looking at all of these moments together, he then asks what we believe about who gets to hear the voice of God, and what that belief says about our understanding of God.
In this message, Craig Hadley explores the complex and often tense dynamic between two of Israel's first kings: Saul and David.

In this sermon, we discuss what Paradox is all about.

What does it truly look like to live a life connected to God? In this message, Craig Hadley explores 1 John 4:7 and what it means to walk with God through authentic love for one another.

What if everything you were taught about sin was designed to keep you ashamed, not free?
